Marin squealed into his pillow, immediately shutting off the movie and turning off his computer in the darkness of his room; the only light coming from outside the dimly lit windows. His eyes were welled up with tears as his heart raced with terror. He cursed Ivan under his breath as he pulled his cat hood over his face, already wearing his pajamas as it was late into the night.

"It's a cult classic he said, It's not that scary he said, the directors cut is the only way to truly enjoy it!" Marin mocked before he sighed heavily. "I'm gonna kill that guy." He remarked as he pulled his blanket around his shoulders as a form of comfort, but adrenaline rushed through his body as he heard breathing behind him.

"Marin-"

"AHHH!" Marin screamed, falling out of his chair, looking up towards his Kwami hovering nearby. He groaned aloud, covering his face as he screamed into his pillow once more as he was curled up on the ground. "What is it Tikki?" He whined as his Kwami hovered closer towards him. He grew more concerned as he saw an uncertain expression on his Kwami's face.

"Tikki?" He questioned as Tikki rested on the palm of his hand.

"Hawkmoth's Kwami's transmission is…" He mumbled as Marin's eyes widened in surprise.

"Nooroo?" Marin clarified as Tikki nodded.

"Yes. He's celebrating his thirty-five hundredth cycle today… all by himself." She said as Marin's expression softened.

"We'll free him from Hawkmoth someday, I promise sugarcube."

Tikki nodded, but she seemed distracted from her partner's words. "There may just be a faster solution." She said hesitantly as she hovered towards Marin's face."Kwamis are able to communicate with their kind on their cycle, or birthday. But we won't get another opportunity for a long time. See? A Kwami's cycle lasts several hundreds of human years and must gather in the Miracle Box at a specific time so they can perform the ritual." She explained but noticed Marin's distracted expression.

Marin's eyes widened for a moment, "It's your birthday and you never told me?!" He asked, distracted for a moment, but then focused on what his partner had explained. "Wait, so the rest of the Kwami will be able to talk to Nooroo tonight?" He inquired in excitement for a moment as perhaps this could be a key step in uncovering who Hawkmoth truly was.

"Yes, but...it's only tonight only." She said, fidgeting.

"Tonight?! Why didn't you tell me about this sooner, Tikki?!"

"Because Master Fu doesn't want us kwamis to leave our owner's sides. He says we have to be able to take action immediately if someone becomes akumatized."

Marin hummed to himself, understanding the master's reasoning. If he had known about this ahead of time..."Hmm… he's right. But if all the other kwamis are able to meet up, then it's still gonna happen, right?"

Tikki averted her gaze from her partner. "I'm afraid it might not work if I don't go. The more kwamis that are present, the better chance we have of succeeding!"

Marin grew conflicted but noticed the hopeful expression in Tikki's eyes as she continued to speak.

"Wayzz, Plagg and I have an idea; well, it was mainly Plagg's idea. He and I would go and gather with other kwamis inside the Miracle Box. Wayzz would stand guard and he'd let us know right away if anyone becomes akumatized...What do you think?

Marin sighed, crossing his arms as he thought for a moment. "We can't disobey the master's direct order's Tikki." He said as his Kwami's expression fell. "But...if it means we're able to save Nooroo and defeat Hawk Moth, maybe the master won't be too angry." He said as Tikki's eyes lit up with hope.

"So you're okay with it? You'll let me go?!" She asked.

"On one condition," Marin said sternly as Tikki recoiled for a moment. She watched as Marin stood up, putting on his house shoes and then grabbing his messenger bag that was sitting nearby. "I'm going with you." He said as Tikki looked at him in surprise.

"I'm coming with you." He said.

"But-"

"No buts sugarcube, if the master is worried about what will happen if you're not by my side then I'll have to be nearby in case something happens..."He explained but then averted his gaze as he smiled nervously. "Also I won't be able to get to sleep for a while after watching that movie..."

"But you didn't even finish it." Tikki said as Marin held up his hands defensively.

"That is...not, your problem." Marin stammered the fear slowly closing in on him again as he recalled those teens driving into that cabin in the woods-

Immediately, he slapped his cheeks to remove those thoughts. "Well, do you want to go or not?" He asked as he refilled Tikki's cookie bag with some shortbread cookies from the cookie jar he kept on Tikki's side of his desk. He felt his Kwami hug his cheek for a moment before she picked up one of her markers, a yellow one that he had given her a few weeks ago.

"Oh, thank you, Marin! You don't have to worry, I know we'll be able to track Nooroo down." She said with a smile as Marin smiled at his adorable Kwami fondly.

"Tikki, spots on!"

Plagg eyed Adrien still studying late into the night as he fake yawned as loud as he could. "I am exhausted. I'm off to bed." He said, pulling out a plushie of himself that was sewn with great skill, getting almost every detail down except for the eyes; which were green buttons.

"Good night Plagg." Adrien said, focused on his studies as Plagg placed the plushie under the covers to make it look like he was sleeping. And carefully, he abandoned his partner and flew into the night, phasing through the night.

As Plagg closed in on Master Fu's home he noticed a familiar Ladybug closing in on the location as well, dropping into the Alley nearby.

"Tikki, spots off." He said as his Kwami hovered nearby with a smile on her face.

"Hey, sugarcube!" Plagg called out in greeting, surprised to see Marin present. "What's the Ladybug doing here?"

"Ugh. I've already told not to call me that!" Tikki remarked in annoyance. "Do you ever hear me calling you "Stinky Sock"?"

"No, but you should! That would be delightful, sugarcube!" Plagg playfully teased as Tikki groaned, turning her head away. "Looks like you weren't allowed to leave home without your partner." He said glancing towards Marin as Tikki scoffed at him.

"Actually, I just told him the honest truth. Marin is here because he's just as worried about Nooroo as the rest of us." Tikki informed as Plagg's expression fell slightly, his eyes beginning to water. It had been too long since they had talked to their brother, all of them missed him terribly But hopefully, that would change tonight.

Marin's expression softened as he saw the Plagg's ears flatten sadly, reminding him of when Chat Noir was upset. So he reached out his arm, scratching Plagg just behind his ears as the Kwami began to purr affectionately, "Don't worry, I'm sure you two will be able to track Nooroo down." He said hopefully as both Kwami smiled at him. Marin then took out the marker that Tikki wanted to gift, then noticed that Plagg wasn't carrying anything.

"Plagg! Didn't you bring anything for our brothers and sisters!?" Tikki scolded as Plagg shrugged his shoulders.

"I had some cheese, but I fed it to a starving kitten on the way here."

"Plagg!" Tikki growled, now growing annoyed, but only calmed down as Marin nuzzled her cheek for a moment just before taking out Tikki's cookie bag. He took out a few, placing them in the pocket of his jacket then handed the bag to Plagg who could easily carry it.

"Why don't you share some of Tikki's cookies since you so generously donated your cheese little kitty?" Marin suggested with a playful glint in his eye, even though Tikki looked away with disapproval.

Plagg hummed for a moment as he glanced as Tikki with a sly expression. "Well, you heard your partner, let's go give our siblings the gifts that were most generously donated, he remarked, flying into the shop first.

Tikki lingered for a moment as she glanced at Marin in worry.

"Don't worry, I'll just be sitting nearby. If anything goes wrong, just fly out and find me." He said reassuringly as Tikki nodded, following Plagg as Marin walked out onto the street, finding a nearby bench to sit on.

Within his room, Adrien began to get drowsy, wanting to finish off his homework. He was grateful that it was the end of the week, so maybe Nathalie would allow him to sleep in for once. But he snapped to attention as he saw what looked like glowing dust fall on him.

"Huh?" He questioned for a moment as then Iron bars appear in front of all doors and windows, locking him in his room with no escape. Quickly, he turned towards his bed, pulling back the sheets.

"Plagg! Wake up!" But when he picked up his Kwami, he gasped in shock as he looked at its button eyes, "Plagg! No! Who turned you into a toy?!" He gasped in shock as the rods began to close in on him.

Looking around in confusion, he tried removing his ring, putting it back on, thinking that re-summoning his Kwami may revert the effect of what was happening. But Plagg remained the same as Adrien looked around fearfully at the bars closing in on him slowly.

"Nathalie! Father! Can anybody hear me?!" He yelled out fearfully, but no one answered his call.

Tikki exchanged a worried glance with Plagg as they both flew over to the Kwami of perpetuation as the rest of their siblings sang. "We won't make it, Sass." Tikki said in concern as Sass nodded.

"We are not strong enough without our missing brothers." He remarked as all three glanced at the place where the peacock Kwami should have been.

Plagg thought for a moment. "What if we brought Wayzz in?" He suggested as Tikki gasped.

"But, he's keeping watch-" She was about to reason before Sass interrupted her.

"We won't have another opportunity to contact Nooroo until the next cycle. Go get him!" He said as Plagg few out of the Miracle box. Tikki watched him with uncertainty, worried about what could happen to her partner.

Marin sighed heavily as he doodled in his book, getting some light from a nearby street light. He smiled to himself proudly as he doodled both Tikki and Plagg, quite realistically, as he looked at his book proudly. All of a sudden, he heard a melodious humming in his mind, no doubt it was the Kwami's singing. He had heard a ringing in his ears earlier, but it was slowly getting stronger, even though he began covering his hears, implying that the singing was being echoed directly into his mind.

Marin then turned his head towards the main street as he began hearing screams as the few people in the night were being chased by rather frightening predators or people,

"What? What's going on?" He questioned as he then heard singing from above, a new akumatized villain flying overhead on a pillow.

"The Sandboy just checked in. Now nightmares can begin." He sang quite hypnotically, as though he were singing a lullaby.

Marin narrowed his eyes at the new villain. "He must be bringing nightmares to life." He reasoned as he glanced at the Master's shop. He hesitated for a moment as he glanced back up at the villain causing everyone's nightmares to manifest.

The longer he lingered nearing the singing, the more it was starting to give him a painful headache. He wasn't sure as to why, but he didn't have time to focus on that as he noticed a fog beginning to form around him. He flinched as he thought he heard something behind him, beginning to tremble as he turned around all the blood draining from his face as he asked.

"Who's there?" He askes hesitantly, taking a few steps back, keeping his eyes on the trees as he kept his eyes on the trees. But didn't notice a branch keeping up behind him, roughly wrapping around his leg as it dragged him into the alley screaming in terror. Only leaving his messenger bag behind laying in the middle of the street.

Tikki continued to sing as Plagg and Wayzz flew in. Their presence strengthened their song, as the magic glyph they were hovering over began to activate, turning blue as a large ball of energy began to form in the center, shooting up out of the realm of the Miracle box. But what echoed through the hall was the furthest thing from their brother's voice.

"That's not Nooroo!" Tikki gasped.

"It's Hawkmoth!" Plagg remarked as both of them recognized this dark presence.

"Keep singing!" Stompp prompted as the rest of Kwami looked on fearfully. "We must try to find out where he's hiding!" He said, as they continued to sing, trying to zero in on the villain's location. But it was no use as the energy of pure light began to become corrupted with negative energy.

"It's me who's going to find you, little kwamis! And I will make you my slaves, just like Nooroo!" Hawkmoth's voice echoed out as his presence within the Miracle box began to distort the Kwami's attempted connection.

"His will is so powerful!" Fluff cried out as the rest of the Kwami's began to feel the pain of being within the presence of evil.

Barkk then spoke up, struggling again the pain. "We must cut off all communication! Hawk Moth is trying to track us down!"

All of the Kwamis then cut off the connection, crossing their arms as the energy was cut off. All of them exchanges glances of concern, unable to have contacted their brother, but Wayzz's eyes immediately widened with realization as fear took hold.

"Hey, wait. The reason we can't speak to Nooroo is because he's powering Hawkmoth right now. Which means Hawkmoth's probably akumatized someone!" He reasoned as all the other Kwamia's gasped.

"And since Plagg and Tikki are here with us…" Ziggy began saying.

"Ladybug and Cat Noir aren't able to transform!" Kaalki said with realization as all grew worried.

"Go and find your owners right away!" Sass directed as Tikki, Plagg, and Wayzz flew out of the box. Now watching as their Master cowered in fear of what looked to be ghosts.

"Fu! We are the ghosts of The Order of The Guardians of The Miraculous. You caused our downfall and lost two Miraculous!" They said as Master Fu hid behind a chair.

"It was not my fault, I did not do it on purpose!" He reasoned but trembled in fear of his ghosts of the past, who began taunting him.

"Yes, it was your fault! Your fault! Your fault! Your fault!"

"You two go find your owners, I'll handle this." Wayzz said as he flew towards Master Fu.

Plagg and Tikki exchanged a concerned expression. "Ohhh, I just hope he's not living a nightmare without me around!" Plagg said in concern as he flew out first.

Tikki flew out towards the street, looking around to where Marin said he would be, but then saw her partner's messenger bag fallen to the ground, with its owner nowhere in sight.

Plagg flew into Adrien's room as he saw his partner with his back again iron bars, looking at it in terror. "Adrien! Are you okay?" Plagg asked as Adrien sighed in relief at the sight of his Kwami. "Good to see you've managed to survive your nightmare."

"Plagg, you're not a plushie anymore!" Adrien remarked in relief but noticed Plagg looking away nervously, putting two and two together as he glanced at the fallen plushie still on the ground. "We're going to talk about this later." He scolded, but then flinched back as another bar separated him from his Kwami, leaving no space for Adrien to move around

"Quick! Plagg, claws out!"

As he transformed, he held his hand over his head. "Cataclysm!" He cried out, activating his power as all of the iron bars that once caged him were turned to dust. He nodded, just about to jump out the window, but stopped for a moment. He looked down at his ring that started to beep, then back at the camembert that Plagg stored.

He thought for a moment, deciding that he would need all his power for this night.

Chat Noir lands on a roof and watching the chaos below as the people were running in terror, "What is this mess?" He asked, then spotted the akumatized villain flying above him on a pillow, singing what sounded like a lullaby. Just as Chat Noir was about to chase after him, he heard someone land behind him, turning he saw his partner looking down at him from the chimney he stood on.

Chat Noir hesitated for a moment as he glanced up towards his partner, his heart sinking as he noticed the yo-yo in his hand. His cold expression not on the villain, but on him as Chat Noir took a step back.

"My Lady?" He questioned just as his partner attacked him, showing no love in his eyes as he tacked Chat Noir off the roof.

"Marin? Marinus!" Tikki called out in worry, looking around for her partner amidst the chaos while trying not to be seen. Her eyes widened in shock as she then spotted him being dragged into the mouth of a monstrous-looking tree within an alleyway as the braches dug into his legs. "Marin!" Tikki called out as Marin glanced up towards his Kwami. He couldn't relax as had been putting up a fight against the braches as his pajamas were ripped up, and his face and hands were covered in bloody scratches.

"Tikki! Spots on!" He cried out just as he was lifted off the ground, upside down, about to be dropped into the tree's fiery mouth. As he transformed, he used his yo-yo the break the branches, using the face of the demon tree as a platform as he jumped onto the roof.

"I...hate...horror movies." He stated, trying to calm down as he rested his hand against a chimney for a moment.

"Please, talk to me!" Chat Noir asked desperately as he could only narrowly evade his partner's attacks. Even though he was most definitely stronger, his partner was faster, any attacks he had tried to plant were easily evaded. As Chat Noir tried to take out his staff it was snatched out of his hands by Ladybug's yo-yo and tossed behind him.

"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug cried out, throwing his yo-yo into the air as from it, a large sword fell into his hands. As Ladybug walked closer to Chat Noir, it sharpened against the ground as he allowed it to trail in his hands.

"What a joke." Ladybug remarked with a dark tone as Chat Noir grew more distressed hearing his partner speak. "You can't even protect yourself, let alone your partner half the time. Not only that, you have the audacity to question me?" Ladybug scoffed, raising the sword over his head. "Look in the mirror before you decide to judge others!" He said about to slash down as Chat Noir closed his eyes in defeat, feeling the sting of his partner's words. But was suddenly pushed out of the way.

He looked up in surprise as he saw Ladybug's face again, this time hovering over him as he glanced at his doppelganger standing nearby. Just as he was about to say something, Ladybug winced in pain, stunned for a moment as the other Ladybug was about to attack again.

Chat Noir grabbed his partner, sprinting away from the scene as he jumped across the rooftops, taking cover within an alleyway. As he released his real partner, he noticed a cut on his back, luckily it wasn't deep, but it was enough that Ladybug had to hold the wall for support as he tried to regain his footing. There was a brief silence between them as there was an uncomfortable tension between them.

"So... I'm your worst nightmare?" Ladybug asked as Chat Noir froze for a moment. He almost wanted to laugh at the accusation, but couldn't exactly refuse it as the proof literally stabbed his partner in the back. Instead, glanced at his partner's wound then asking.

"Is it just me, or are you a little more delicate than me?" He said as Ladybug glanced towards him.

"My uniform doesn't provide me with the same about of protection as yours does." Ladybug remarked. "Different Miraculous provide different strengths and weaknesses." He said as Chat Noir rested his back against the wall, crossing his arms.

"You should know I guess..." He said as Ladybug sighed. "So what do you know about my Miraculous?"

"Did Plagg not explain this to you when you first met?" He asked as Chat Noir looked away sheepishly. "Your Miraculous of Destruction is one of the strongest physically." He said.

"That seems a little unfair."

"It's how the balance works. After all, my power is called a Lucky Charm for a reason. It's a conditional but it can be pretty beneficial." Ladybug chuckled but winced as he pressed his back against the wall, forgetting about his injury for a moment. "Well, most of the time."

"I have to say...tonight's been a total nightmare, at least until you showed up." Chat Noir admitted, his ears twitched. He stood up as he heard a familiar song. "Hey, do you hear-" He asked as a familiar golden dust fell on them. Narrowed his eyes for a moment before he remembered what happened the first time he was hit by the dust. Both of them looked up to see Sandboy smiling down at them.

" The Sandboy just checked in! Now nightmares can begin!" He remarked.

Ladybug took out his yo-yo, throwing it out towards the villain, but the cord didn't extend as it should have, instead it re-coiled, hitting Ladybug's forehead. "Ow!" He grimaced for a moment before panic began to set in. Immediately he tried to open its storage but saw that it had essentially become a normal yo-yo. "...Oh no." Ladybug remarked in worry just as Chat Noir pushed him out of the way, holding his partner in his arms as Sandboy shot weaponized sand at them.

"What happened?" Chat Noir asked as he tried to put some distance between them and the villain.

Ladybug wrapped his arms around Chat Noir's neck, trying to gain some stability. "My nightmare..." He said as they landed on the street, Chat Noir noticed his fallen batton. Landing nearby as he placed Ladybug back onto his feet.

"What's your..." Chat Noir about to ask as he walked up to his partner, but was stunned as he saw himself, a mirror of himself kneeling on the ground. His reflection was slowly fading away as hat Noir looked towards his partner for some explanation but only saw him looking down towards the reflection in shame. For a moment, Ladybug reached out towards him, as if to see if his hand would phase through, but he recoiled.

"Being powerless." Ladybug remarked as he clutched his fist in frustration.

"Ladybug, you're-" Chat Noir was about to say as suddenly they were surrounded by both enemies, both Sandboy as well as the Nightmare Ladybug. They stood back to back, for for a moment, glanced towards each other, nodding as a smirk dawned on Chat Noir's face. The two already knew what to do as they both shared a feeling of relief, working alongside each other, no nightmare could ever break them apart.

As both enemies charged at them, Chat Noir passed off the baton to Ladybug who extended it. At the last moment, both Chat Noir and Ladybug sidestepped their target. Ladybug used Chat Noir's staff to sweep the legs of the Nightmare Ladybug, who tripped into Sandboy. Chat Noir then used his claws to rip the pillow, transforming Sandboy back to his civilian form. Both heroes watched the Akuma fly as Chat Noir glanced at Ladybug in worry.

"What are we going to do about that?" He questioned as Ladybug picked up the hit of the large sword, using the momentum of the weighted weapon to toss it into the air.

"Miraculous Ladybug!" He said, turning everything back to normal, making all the nightmares disappear before their eyes. Ladybug then took out his yo-yo, opening it up as his powers had returned. "No more mischief from you little Akuma. Time to purify!" Ladybug said as he swung his yo-yo towards the possessed Akuma, capturing it in one motion. Then opening it once more, watching the newly purified Akuma fly away. "Bye-bye, little butterfly."

The black-spotted hero sighed in relief as it was all over, turning towards a confused looking Chat Noir. "Hawkmoth's power can replicate our own powers to an extent, he explained as Chat Noir simply nodded. Hesitantly, Ladybug held his fist towards him with a nervous smile on his face.

Chat Noir's expression softened, just as he was about to return the gesture they both turned towards a small child.

"Where am I?" He asked looking around in confusion, looking scared that he wasn't in his own home.

Ladybug glanced back at Chat Noir who retained his warm expression, tilting his head towards the small child.

Ladybug's expression softened at his partner as he walked over the child, " What was that all about, little friend?" he asked gently.

The small child looked nervous for a moment started to tear up as he then hugged the hero. "I...I watched a movie on TV, even though my parents told me not to. It was kinda scary and when I went to bed and had a really bad nightmare. I woke up and there was a black butterfly in my room a-and a weird man spoke right in my face."

Ladybug nodded in understanding as he stood up, holding the boy in his arms as he would Manon when she got sleepy.

Chat Noir sighed, resting his hands on his hips. "That's what happens when you let kids watch anything they want on TV." He said as the child then gasped.

"Please don't tell my mommy and dad." He asked in worry.

"I won't tell if you promise to listen to them about these kinds of things." Ladybug said. "Even I get scared of scary movies."

"You Ladybug?" The child asked in awe as Ladybug simply nodded.

"Yup, can't stand 'em." He chuckled as a smile drew on the boy's lips. "I'll make sure he gets home safe." Ladybug said as Chat Noir nodded smiling warmly at his partner as the boy hugged him fondly.

"Yay!"

Chat Noir stretch his arms over his head, turning his back to his partner as he was about to leave, but felt a little lonely after everything that happened. "My Lady-" Chat Noir asked, turning around, but his heart fell as he saw that his partner was already gone. He sighed to himself in frustration, always wanting to know more about his partner. But...he was alright with being left in the dark like this. He was fine with what they had already.

As Chat Noir ran along the rooftops, he noticed something familiar lain on the ground. His eyes widened in surprise as he jumped down, as he drew closer, a cold realization washed over him as he recognized what was in his hand.

Marin walked up the stairs of his house, with his hood pushed over his head. He wasn't worried about waking his parents up at this hour as both of them would be out like rocks after prepping the dough for the next morning. Tikki was already in a deep slumber as she slept in his pocket, curled up cutely. As Marin reached his room, he placed his Kwami in the basket of colorful yarn she used for a bed. Just as he was about to crash on his bed, he heard a knocking from above.

For a few moments, he thought his mind was playing tricks on him, but then looked up curiously as he heard it again. Knowing that he wouldn't be able to sleep after hearing the knocking, as well as watching that horror movie' he pushed the window that led to the porch, feeling the night as he looked at his visitor in surprise.

"Chat Noir?" Marin questioned, his heart racing as he saw the hero backed away from the glass, holding something behind his back as he then waved to him.

"Hi." He said, then averted his gaze sheepishly for a moment.

"Is something wrong?" Marin asked, but was stunned as Chat Noir handed his messenger bag to him. For a moment he froze, wondering if his partner had seen what lay within the pages of his sketchbook.

"I found this fallen on the sidewalk, and with everything going on tonight I got worried." He admitted as Marin took his bag back.

Marin then chuckled nervously as he rubbed the back of his head, "Oh yeah, I was watching some scary movies my friend let me borrow. I got so freaked out I went for a walk and well..." He said shrugging his shoulders. "Good thing you and Ladybug saved everyone, or else I would've been ripped apart by a tree." He said trying to play it off like a joke. But Chat Noir looked bewildered at his playful tone at the rather gruesome notion.

"But- I'm grateful for your thoughtfulness," Marin said, bowing his head gratefully.

"Don't worry about it." Chat Noir said, "but you're becoming bad for my heart." the hero remarked clawing his heart. He seriously began to understand to the notion of his parents wanting to homeschool him, considering how much trouble his friend managed to get himself into. But then remembered, "I hope I didn't wake you up."

"Are you kidding? I probably won't be able to sleep at all tonight." Marin groaned.

"Yeah, same." Chat Noir nodded in understanding, recalling the fear of being locked away all too well, in no hurry to return to that place.

Marin noticed Chat Noir's ears flatten, as well as the lonesome expression on his face, looking rather sad. This night had probably been just as hard for him as it was for him. "You can stay with me tonight if you want," Marin said easily as Chat Noir immediately snapped to attention, his face turning red as his mouth was agape.

"Wha-"

"Yeah, it's easier to sleep if you're with someone else," Marin remarked, not picking up why Chat Noir was so flustered, it wasn't like they hadn't done this before. "It'll be like a sleepover."

"I...I-" Chat Noir stammered, growing more flustered felling heavily conflicted, while also being upset at his friend for being so nonchalant about the notion. But was already being guided down, not fighting back as somehow he had ended up in one of his closest friend's beds. He curled up under the sheets, feeling warm as Marin for some reason had 2 comforters on his bed for a third of the year along with a nest of pillows.

Chat Noir had tried a similar set up in his own room but for some reason, it was far cozier within his friend's room. His tension was only realized as he slowly turned his head, dumbfounded at the sight of his friend already sleeping soundly. He really shouldn't have been surprised, Marin was known for sneaking naps where he could all around the school. Something that he was scolded often for. But something about this whole matter made him feel off-balance as he pushed himself up, now hovering his friend's face with an annoyed look on the hero's face.

"Won't be able to fall asleep." Chat Noir mocked to himself in a mumble, staring down at his friend who was too defenseless with matters like this. After all, Marin slept like a rock.

Chat Noir took a deep breath, sitting up for a moment, wondering if he should leave. However, he slightly flinched slightly as he head Marin moan in his sleep after losing his source of warmth. His brow's furrowed as he subconsciously reached out towards something. Chat Noir immediately grew annoyed, sighing in defeat as he laid back down, pulling the sheets over him as he hugged his friend, resting his chin on Marin's head as he pulled his friend close to him.

"You're really bad for my heart." The hero remarked, but then soon slumbered off as well with a warm feeling in his chest and a small smile on his face.

Notes:

- Fun fact, if you watch a horror movie that gives you the creeps, don't immediately go to sleep afterward. Watch a comedy or something lighthearted until you're not scared anymore, it's like a pallet cleanser.

- I like horror movies alot, so for fun, I used Evil Dead as a reference for the scary movie Marin watched. (It is not for kids or the faint-hearted at all)

-Chat Noir's fear is fighting against his friend, Ladybug's is being powerless to save his friend. I wonder what I could do to monopolize these fears for the sake of angst. ;3

-Sharing is caring. So share your bed with your partner who doesn't know you're his partner to make him feel better after both of you experienced your worst nightmares.

-They're just friends ya'll, calm down.

-Also, if there's a specific scene that ya'll would like to see illustrated, please let me know in the comments. I plan on posting some art alongside the release of the season 2 finale.
